Pixel Theme

@Rookervik
What are the chances that you implement 'grid view' for browsing box arts in this theme? Or does it require some opening up from the guys at RetroPie before this can be implemented?

Rookervik

Uhh. I don't know anything about grid view. I also don't know if video previews have been updated to deal with multiple background layers. Currently you are only allowed one background layer on a video preview screen. Very limiting for themes with changing colors between systems like pixel.

@AndersHP Grid View is pretty much dead, the creator has gone silent and there have been no updates.

@Rookervik there is a pending pull request that will address the issue of multiple background layers. It will add z-index support which will allow theme makers the ability to place elements above the video, but by default all extras will be below the video.

Rookervik

And on top of these enhancements to ES, a new launcher is coming out that should put ES to rest, permanently. Be ready to convert your themes. :P

@Rookervik you mean another frontend? Which one?

@lilbud did you try it? I couldn't compile it yet... But looks promising, indeed.

lilbud

@meleu I'll wait for a stable release

@Rookervik how can I theme Menu fonts (menus accessed by start and select)?

The fonts in help_bar switch while accessing Menus

Edit: The Twine Plant theme looks great

Maybe you wanted to say emulationstation, didn't you?

Not yet.

Do I use a scrapper before or after installing this theme?

meleu

@SonPluck it doesn't matter.

SonPluck

Do I need to install the splash screen on my own? is so how?

meleu

@SonPluck the instructions are on the OP. If you need a video there's one on youtube from @ETAPRIME , search there.

@meleu I'd vote against recommending people to those that promote piracy.

meleu

@herb_fargus oops, I wasn't aware about this, let's say, personality disorder...

Still the best theme ever - I keep going back to it!

Questions, granted, I can use the FBA/Arcade machine background for the pixelated console picture - so that part is done, but has anyone seen any CAVE or CPS system logos for the main system selection carousel? Before i try and make my own, I figured I would as here...

Thanks in advance,

Matt!
